The creature had no chance; I think it was a truck that killed it; and a great crowd gathered, stopping traffic, excitedly discussing the tragedy. The majority declared the animal to bo a rat; the minority maintained that it was a guinea-pig. Then | as the police interrupted discussion by ! clearing the car-tracks, a large negro j dropped from the back of a truck, seized the animal, and mounting the cart tail once more, held his prize aloft, grinning from ear to ear. "Bas- I ser 'possum," he said, and pocketed the future piece de resistance. I have never learned where that 'possum came from; but there's no doubt j where he went.

"Didn't you tell thern, Mr. Mowbray hasn't ccmo yet?" "Yes'm, and they said they'd wait. i- 11 J ~ I've stcvn mora into ue uiiiwiug room." "Very well, I shall be down in a moment." "The gentlemen told me not to disturb you, but I thought you would like to know they were here." "Thank you. Mary." "Will the gentlemen stay to dinner?" "No, I hope?I re.ean I think not. You may r.cund the gong at the usual lime. Don't forgot, please." "No'rn, I won't; forget." And Mary smiled significantly to herself as she retired to the kitchen. This would not be the first tiiro she had been called upon to sound the dinner gong at Holly Ledge as a gentle hint to visiters that it was time for them to go. Mary had discovered long ago, that j hospitality to "master's friends" was i not one of her young mistress* vir- { tues. "And I don't blame her, neither," I said Mary to herself; "it's only natupral she shouldn't want them always hanging around and taking master's attention off of herself, and she only married six months." Mrs. Mowbray gave a little petu- j lent sigh. "I suppose I must." she murmured, addressing hor looking glass with a frown. And then she began to smile, half reluctantly, at the face she saw reflected there. It was a pretty face. The frown j clouded tho prettiness, but the smile i made it bewitching. Yet Mrs. Mow- j bray frowned almost as often as she | smiled. But then things happened to annoy her. Harry was a "ciear boy, of course, I but?well, he certainly had his faults, j What made him so late -onight., for ! instance? fcurely ho hadn't gene off | again to play chess with that horrid Bob Jollibois, as he did only the other week. But, no, ho wouldn't be so selfish and horrid when he knew perfectly well how unhappy it would make her. She had told him so when be camo home at S.30 o'clock the o'her night, and ho had vowed never to do it again. Harry was a man of his word; she would say that for him. He had promised before they were married to give up that hateful volunteering and football that always tooit up so much of his time, and he had kept his promises so iar. though she was quite sure Bob Jollibois and the others were doing their best to tempt him to break it. What was keeping him this evening? She had never felt quite easy in her mind since she fcund cut that Harry was still a member of the Jackday club. He had agreed with her when she declared that a married man with a comfortable home of his own had no business to go to a club, but all the same he had not resigned his membership. He had explained to her that it would be shabby 10 do so, and that paying a subscription to a club was a mere matt.er of form. He had never been near the place since, it is true. Still, she would have been hap- I pier had he severed his connection with i no jackdaws aitogemer. The club was a lick with his bachelor days, in which she had had no part, and resented it as such. The two men waiting down stairs were links of the same sort. They had know liarry when he was still a stranger to her, and they would talk to him of things that had happened before he had ever met her. It made her feel vaguely aggrieved. She would net have admitted it in so many words, but it always pained her a little to think that Harry cculd ever have had any absorbing interests and thoughts outside of herself. Though she laughed to herself, she liked to cherish a delusion which Harry's friends always seemed to destroy?to wit, that Harry's life had been a dead and dreary blank before she came into it. Mrs. Mowbray seized her silverbacked liair-brush?Harry's latest present?and administered half a doz en impatient and quite unnecessarydabs to her pretty, fluffy' hair. "I suppose I must," she sighed again, and tripped lightly downstairs, prepared to be civil to her husband's visitors. "Poor eld Mowbray! Take warning by him, Bundy, and don't get married." "I don't mean to. But how about yourself, eh?" "Oh, Nell's one in a thousand. She's not like Mrs. Mow?but, I say. I suppose one mustn't abuse a man's wife in his own house. And I daresay she's a charming little woman, really?but a bit jealous. Anyway, he adores her." "Evidently. A man must be pretty far gone to give up everything, as T nr'Kro XT Vftll /Ifin't tVllTll.- ho'll come lo the smoker?" "No?I'm afraid he won't. Since he's been married he can't be induced to spend an evening away from her." "Poor old Mowbray. IIe!s bound to get tired of it." "Yes, a man wants a little change, even if he's married an angel. Human nature can't stand monotony." a * i - * TV C ~ \ "Aaanvs reiying on iviuwuiay iu sing. The fellows will be horribly disappointed if he doesn't." "So will Mowbray himself. He used to be uncommonly heen on it. Of course, he'll refuse, simply because he's afraid of hurting his wife's feelings." "It strikes me he's carrying devotion a bit too far. Why, he seems to have thrown over every blessed thing he ever cared for. The Growlers are furious in his desertion. They've lost their best halfback. And old Harding was grumbling to ine, only last night, because Mowbray hasn't put his nose inside the School of Arms for months." "That must have been a blow to Mowbray, to give up these bayonet competitions. He was a dead certainty for at least one prize. " . "It's the same with everything. He's losing his form all round. It's a sin that such a good sportsman should be allowed to run to seed; and a woman | who makes her husband sacrifice all his pet hobbitc must be " The speaker paused expressively. "Well, of course, we don't know ! ;hat it's her fault. He never so much j as hinted at it. Pretends he's drop- , ping out of things to please himself." "But who believes that?" "Nobody! Oh, you're quite right? it is my fault!" It was not Jack Hunt's voice that answered his friend Bundy's question. Tho two men turned to the speaker with startled faces. It was Mrs. Mowbray, who detached herself from the shadow of the screen at the door and came toward them with outstretched hands. "It was mean to listen," she said, flushinc all over her nrotty fa^e, "but I couldn't help it. You didn't hear me come in, and?something you said? rrado me "wait, and so I?I overheard. Oh, please don't think mo a?a hen* pecker!" she added hurriedly. "But when you said that about taking warning by Harry, and net getting married, it?it wasn't in human nature not to listen. I've been thoughtless and selfish. It's done me good to hear the truth. Won't you shake hands?" Ten minutes later, when Harry Mow. bray came home, he was amazed to find that his wife had set her heart on his singing at tho Jackdaw's Smoker, and when she insisted g:i his spending the entire following evening at the club it dawned upon him that something extraordinary had happened. WEST PC I NT AMD ITS BEGINNING. How This Strategic Place Was Occupied in the Revolution, The antiquity of Fort Putnam, at tho West Point Military academy, has been a question of dispute the last few days, but it will probably soon be righted, and its proposed restoration to its original condition, or something like it, will be carried cut. How the military academy came into being, and various other facts about it, are of interest' to every loyal American. Tho tract of land owned by the government at West Point contains 2105 acres, and was first settled in May, 1723. The greater part of this area was purchased from Stephen Moore on September 10, 1790, for $11,0S5 The smaller and southerly portion was bought from Oliver Gridley on May 13, 1824, for $10,000. On March 2, 1826, ike State of New York ceded jurisdiction oyer that part of the property on which the principal edifices connected with the institution stand, and only "reserved the right to execute any process, civil or criminal, whefein the real cr personal property of the United States was affee'ed." The importance of West Point in the Revolution was due to its command of the Hudson river, then the thoroughfare tor freight and passenger trafiic between the seaboard and the interior. Early in 1775 the provincial congress, pursuant to the wishes of the continental congress, resolved to fortify the highlands, and sent commissioners, accompanied by Colonel Bernard Romans, with 24 men, to execute its plans. Romans was a willful choleric Hollander, an engineer by profession and an employe of the British Crown. He constructed the fortifications on Constitution island (then Marlelaed's Rock), but in such an unscieiiunu miuiLtr o.a iu mnw the strictures of the most capable experts of his own profession. For this reason, and also because of a report by a special commission of inspection, made to congress cn November 23, 1775, that the words could be assailed from the higher ground across the river without any danger to the enemy, it was planned to occupy and fortify West Point, but the proposition was not followed, and "the key to the passage of the Highlands temporarily fell into the hands of the enemy." After the British had abandoned the Highlands in August, 1777, Genera's Putnam and James Clinton were detailed to supervise the reconstruction of the fortresses, and on July 2o, 1779, the headquarters of the commander-inchief were transferred to West Point, it was here ti.at General Washington issued, among his "many and pointed orders" one "against that unnecessary and abominable custom of swearing." West Point had cost $3,000,000, in addition to three years of labor by the local force, and was accounted the "American Gibraltar."?New York Tribune. PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Observations made In several bacteriological laboratories have lately been published, in which a claim is made that some fruit juices, more particularly lemon juice, have power to render inactive the bacillus of typhoid I fever. The exact method of investigation is not detailed in the literature at hand, but it is worth noting at the outset that the general restraining effect of acids upon beneficial development has been long known, as has also the fact that several of the so-called vegetable acids, though commonly supposed to be of feeble chemical power, are really very active. The obs'erved feebleness is due to the high dilution onmrnnnlv occur. Citric Ill ? UiV.il V*AV-^ ? , acid in concentrated form is a strong acid. General adoption of the view that some fruit juices can render harmless articles of food or drink contaminated with the typhoid germ should only follow much careful investigation, and even if the decision is favorable, it will possibly be found that some of the common minera' acids will answer the same purpose.?

A Miscellaneous Collection That He f Takes From the Shore. Jack Tar is notoriously improvident, and most of our naval seamen, when they get ashore, spend their money, be it more cr less with a lavish hand. Shore leavo is limited to twenty-four hours, but in that brief time the un- ? restrained sailor managos to run through about all the cash he carries with him. He plunges into a whirl of * dissipation and is oftentimes cheated or robbed of a good share of his ready assets, but a percentage of the latter is also apt to go for anything that happens to strike his almost childish fancy. Mascots are the seafarer's delight, and whatever he may come ( across which seems to him to have a talismanic property he is bound to buy it if he can. Hence, when the "pier jumpers" as those on shore leave arc technically called, return in well-filled barges to the ship and under direction of the master-at-arms climb up on deck 1 they are likely to bring with them a * ? flnlloottnn nf PDfttS * LLuaeeiiaucuuo vvnv<.t.wu w. 0 , (logs, parrots, monkeys, roosters, etc. One sailor on the Kearsarge, either in or out of his senses at the time, went so far as to purchase as a mascot a colored baby from its mother for the j sum of forty cents and came aboard with It in his arms. He was not allowed to retain it, however, and the child was eventually restored to the repentant and hysterical parent. I How many of the mascots may be j kept on board lies within the discre- j tion of the captain. A liberal policy t is pursued in this matter. But manifestly there is a limit to the number , of those that can be accommodated. ! The surplus is sent ashore without de-. j lay. When the returned "pier jumpI ers" are lined up while the ship's writer calls the roll to discover the I I laggards, it is one of the most per- j plexing duties of the decit to aeciue ( j what dumb creatures may or may not i be added to the vessel's menagerie. | If the vessel is on her way homeward j from the tropics she usually carries a ; large variety of living presents for the j home friends of the sailors. But these , j are only temporary tenants of the hold , and would not be permitted to remain on board long.?Leslio's Weekly. THE BURGLAR'S LAMENT. .
